A higher father
October 13th, 2004
Footnote for the third debate: “A higher father”.
On Larry King Live, journalist Bob Woodward, the author of Plan of Attack, reported how Bush responded when questioned about consulting his father on the war. “When I asked about his father, he said, ‘In terms of finding strength, I appeal to a higher father,’ meaning God,” Woodward said. “And when he ordered war, he prayed. And he prayed that he be a good messenger of God’s will.”
